I would love to see statistics based on race, gender, sales volume, service record, profitability to understand who and why people were allowed to "survive" or be destroyed by a stoke of a government pen. I have no hard data but I smell a rat. Cross reference money given to political parties and the closed dealership list could be interesting.....

They don't want us to see whats really happening so they start a new crisis or uproar. This regime in power and yes its a regime not a party cant be trusted. This includes the GOP also. To little to late GOP. We have been fighting regimes for a hundred years in other countries to make their lives better and now we have our own building in our back yard. The government cant deliver the mail on time or without losing money, but they think they can be bankers, insurance agents and auto manufacturers. We will see how smart the American people are next election. If the people don't vote accordingly then I guess we all deserve what we get. And for all these csars, when did we become Russia All this fiasco was just smoke and mirrors. They don’t want us to see whats really happening so they start a new crisis or uproar.

Where is the outrage over $50B with no payback requirement. I guess my outrage will continue through car purchases. All the talk of GM caused us to reflect on our car purchases through the years. Out of 15 cars, only 3 were "American". Where is the jubilation over money being made off of the TARP Banks. (Ugly as this episode has been) Bravo to the the svengali's in Washington who have managed the public opinion soooo well! I agree. Where is the outrage over $50B with no payback requirement.

After all, this is the basis of the middle class where single income high school educated people can support a family in a spacious 4 bedroom household with a second lake home while 2 income college educated households get by with only the 4 bedroom household! The new "Made in America" push will be "Made by someone who isn't taking my tax money for their absurd income!!" I look very fondly on the Toyota and Honda in my driveway. That's right, UAW, they're in my driveway, not in the shop getting lemon repairs!! How can anyone possibly blame the wonderful unions and any company that employs union labor?

I believe the whole AIG bonus thing was a head fake to draw attention to the millions of dollars in bonus money and hide the billions of dollars in payments to the likes of Goldman Sacks. It's funny how "upset" people were at the smaller amount of money paid in bonuses and no one really even talked about the hughe amount of money banks were paid through AIG. Even more funny is how those banks that recieved billions through AIG back door magically have billions to "pay back" the TARP program...himmmmm? I guess banks are used to using other peoples money so in a way this whole financial loop de loop is nothing new. No GM is a "good" bad guy because it can be used for social/green engineering that can be put to work through the "car zar" and new "board" which will be a Obamas board and it will be uaw controlled. The new bad guy will be Ford or Toyota or some other non TARP funded gov't controlled car company. If I was with Ford upper management I would watch my back :) Gm will not be made a vilian as AIG was unless it serves the administrations current goals.
